                                        My name is Paul Page and I am the
                                        RALLY leader. My experience working
                                        with children and youth spans over
                                        20 years and includes outdoor
                                        skills, classroom instruction and
                                        adventure trips. I have a Diploma in
                                        Outdoor Recreation Management,
                                        and a Masters in Environmental
                                        Education and Communication.
                                        While very passionate about
                                        playing outside, I also feel a strong
        commitment to helping youth learn to respect themselves, others
        and the world around them. I feel it is important that youth learn to
        take responsibility for themselves and their actions so that they can
        contribute positively to the groups they are a part of. I am looking
        forward to getting to work with the young people and their families
        in this community.

       and existing community centre user groups of all ages, and other interested
                                    community members.
                                               The project will incorporate ecological, cultural and
